We're Back! & I Just Got Ghosted Out of $12,000 | Being an Artist in 2026
Episode 54
Sunday, 15 March, 2026
We've been gone a while. Here's why. Jason Sauer is back on Cash on the Hood after months off the air — and he's coming in hot with the story of how he drove through a blizzard in West Virginia, hauling a sculpture on an open trailer, to deliver it to a woman who never answered the door. A $12,000 sale. Fully negotiated. Family approved. Hotel rebooked. And then — nothing. This episode is the real economics of being a professional artist: the 90% failure rate, the $8,000 Miami booth gambles, the cycle of highs and lows that makes this life look insane from the outside. If you've ever bet everything on something and had it pulled out from under you — this episode hits different.
